Dan Turk Colorado State University 26 Rockwell Hall Fort Collins, CO 80523-1277 USA
March 22, 2007 My name is Dan Turk, and I am a faculty member in the Department of Computer Information Systems at Colorado State University. My colleague, Leo Vijayasarathy, and I are conducting a study to better understand the use of agile software development processes, methods, and techniques, and the benefits and limitations associated with their use. About 2 years ago we performed a similar survey. However, while that survey was targeted solely at people who had already been frequent users of agile processes, the current survey looks to draw data from a larger segment of developers and has been updated for that purpose. Please consider participating in this study by completing a brief survey posted at http://www.business.colostate.edu/leov/research/agile/start.cfm . A summary of the results will be posted to this group at the conclusion of this study. Your responses will be entirely anonymous and confidential. The survey does not collect any identifying information and cannot be tracked to the person completing it. General information about your title and years of experience are requested only to build a profile of the survey respondents. Your participation in this study is voluntary. There are no known risks associated with taking part in it. You may stop participating at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled. If you have questions regarding your rights as a volunteer in this research, please contact Janell Meldrem, Senior Human Research Administrator, (970) 491-1563, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you in advance for completing the survey and your contribution to this research. If you have any questions about the study or the survey, please call me at 970-491-0467 or email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sincerely, Dan Turk, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Computer Information Systems -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
